The so-called positive press has in some ways been more difficult to swallow than the negative.

I have writing songs on my own for about six years.

What a woman does is open doors. And it is not a question of locking or unlocking.

I don't look at people's expressions, because I still get nervous when I play, especially when I first put the harp up there. I just try to tune - it takes me a half-hour to tune, and I get nervous if I look at anybody when I do it.

I have a deep rooted folk sensibility that I can't get away from completely.

We are blessed and sustained by what is not said

I give away CDs at shows if someone wants a CD but doesn't have any money. I wouldn't want to do that forever.
